Being a new mum is a wonderful feeling. It’s also a time when you may be feeling tired – especially if you’re not getting a good night’s sleep. So here are some things you can do to help boost your energy levels and stay happy and healthy during those first few precious months:
• Eat a healthy diet and never skip meals. Forget dieting until you’ve stopped breast feeding
• When your baby sleeps, don’t do the housework! Take a nap yourself
• Boost your energy levels with some gentle, regular exercise
• Ensure you are taking in the recommended daily doses of vitamins and minerals
• Evening primrose oil is a great way of getting the essential fatty acids you need when breast-feeding
• Speak to your doctor, midwife or health visitor if you feel depressed
• Ask for help from family and friends if you’re feeling under pressure
• Involve your partner as much as possible – so they don’t feel left out
